Pentagon

The name alone conjures up an imposing image of American power. Encompassing 29 acres, the Pentagon´s symbolic function is only matched by its status as an architectural marvel.

Completed in 1943, this five-sided nucleus of the U.S. Army is the largest office building in the world - yet is takes only seven minutes to walk between two points. Join The History Channel for an in-depth exploration of The Pentagon, including the history of its construction, and the aftermath of 9/11. Walk along its 17 miles of corridors with the 24,000 men and women who work here each day and learn about current security measures and crisis techniques.

Drawing on interviews with historians and insiders and rarely-glimpsed footage, The Pentagon takes viewers inside the top-secret core of the nation´s defense.
